How many POIs does OpenStreetMap have?
Дасланы PlaneMad 1 Кастрычнік 2016 на English. Апошняе абнаўленьне 11 Травень 2017.Might depend on what exactly one considers a point of interest, but looking at some common keys:
- http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/amenity
- http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/shop
- http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/historic
- http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/tourism
- http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/craft
- http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/office
- http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/leisure
- http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/natural=peak
- http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/highway=bus_stop
- http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/railway=station
- http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/aeroway=aerodrome
we get around 20 million features that could be potential landmarks or points of interest.
Just counting points that have names, we get around 12.9 million features.
Addresses

70 million individual addresses and 49 million postcode locations
Maybe there is a better way of finding out, but here’s a new conversation starter at your next mapping party!

By counting features in maps.me maps, I found around 11.2 million POIs with names, quite close to your estimate.

And then you forgot to look at the tourism tag (hotel, museum, etc.) :-)
